You’re most welcome to visit the event in person and experience it firsthand. That said, this does involve additional costs such as travel, hotel stay, and local expenses.
If budget is a concern, you can choose to send your artworks via courier in a rolled format. We will take care of the framing here in Hyderabad. This is a far more economical option and works well for many artists.
The choice really comes down to what matters most to you at this stage.
If you are building your portfolio, need photos for your website, content for Instagram, Meeting senior & master artists, and capturing the festival experience is important right now, then visiting in person will add a lot of value.
If you already have a strong portfolio and your focus is more on sales while staying budget-conscious, then sending your artworks via courier is a practical and efficient route. It also allows you to participate in more opportunities without needing to travel each time.
Ultimately, it’s your call as an artist. We are here to support you.

Courier & Responsibility You will be responsible for the courier charges and any associated risks. We strongly recommend using a reliable courier service such as Blue Dart for safe and timely delivery.

Please note that the setup process has been designed to be very simple & convenient for all participating artists. Artists are only required to drop off their artworks at the venue. The complete display arrangement will be handled by our team along with Curator.
We strongly urge all Hyderabad-based artists to come on Wednesday itself, which is the first day of setup, in order to avoid the last-minute rush. Outstation artists are also welcome.
For artists planning to come on Thursday, please ensure that you arrive before 5 PM positively. Setup activities need to be completed within the scheduled time, and if artworks arrive late, there is a possibility that we may only be able to arrange them after the inauguration.
As we have limited time to complete the entire gallery setup, we request all artists to hand over their artworks to the team & leave the venue thereafter so the setup process can be carried out smoothly.
We request all artists to be mindful of the setup timelines & cooperate accordingly.
